MAINE DISPATCHES,
THE SMALL POX SCARE.
What the People Of Gardiner Think
About Il.
Precautions Taken by the Health Off
GERS to Prevent the Spread Of
the Disease
Special to kennebec journal. :

GARDINER, Dec. {.
The report that Mrs. Frederick Williams
of this city, was sick with small pox. excited
considerable talk and at first some apprehen-
SION was felt in various quarters. This was
soon quieted however, by the prompt meas
ures which were taken by the local health
officers to prevent the spread of the disease.
Secretary Young of the State Board of Health
was communicated with and prompt measures
taken to quarantine the infected house and
to vaccinate all persons whom it was thought
might have been exposed. When Mrs. Will
liams first taken with the disease her
mother and a lady friend from Charlestown,
Mass. were with her, and supposing the case
to be merely one of chicken pox, treated the
patient to sweat in hopes of driving it away
pom learning the true nature of the disease
both Of them left the house The mother
of Mrs. Williams returned to her home
where precautions were taken to
vnccinatc her and disinfect her
clothing. The other lady returned to her
home in Charlestown, Mass, the health au-
thoritcs of that place being notified of her
coming in order that they might provide
against any spread of the disease from her
1t is thought here that there will be no spread
of the disease. Tomorrow the scholars in
the schools will be yaccinatcd ANY who
refuse to undergo the operation will not be
permitted to attend. SO far as is known
none of the scholar. of the scuuls have been
exposed to the disease. one young woman
who lives ON the lower Hat of the Iaine build
ing, where the PATIENTS, was in attendance up
on the high school during the first stages of
the ease She is not known to have been ex-
posed to the disease however, and no spread
of It is apprehcnied from this quarter. The
local health officers and Dr. Young of the
State Board of Health deserve the highest
credit for the prompt action they have taken
in this matter and the wise precautions they
have taken to prevent the spread of this dis
ease.

Amusements.


The appearance of Janauschek at the
Chestnut street Opera House in the character
of Meg Merrlies" was a dramatic event of
more than ordinary interest and significance.
No one has played the part in Philadelphia
since Charlotte Cushmans time, and except
Janauschek, there is probably no one upon
the English-speaking stage to-day who could
appear in it with any chance Of success.
Janauschek is the last Of the great actresses
of the old heroic school--of the school Of
which Edmund Kean and Edwin Forrest,
Sarah Siddons and Charlotte CushmaD, are
llustrious representatives. We have com
medicines nowadays, women like Modjeska
and Ellen Terry and Sarah Bernhardt, whose
art seems to exhaust the possibilities Of re-
finement, and whose work Within its proper
sphere is altogether charming, but where
have we tragedienne in the sense that Janau-
schek is such! She alone embodies in her
performance the traditions of the classic
stage - Phiiodeiphin North Amer,cdn.

ceived no reply. The same paper then wrote
to a neighbor of Wbitueys and received the
following
Yours at hand and contents noted We
know Whitney was at your place about the
time of the murder but he says he never
saw Stain or knew him; nor did he ever tell
anvoae thar he saw him But he says he
saw a party whose name has been connected
with this affair, and talked with him in De1-
ter. AID two or three davs after he met him
iu another town where he went by another
mare and he did not seem to know Whitney

canvassing for paper at that time. Whit

not know why he did not answer it, He has
hal quite IL number from other places, but
10 not think he answered any of them. Per-
hans he thinks he may be called as witness

the better.

GRADE CROSSINGS
In Connecticut to be Abolished at the
Expense of the Railroad Companies.
II.RTroRD Ct Dec

HARTFORD, Ct, Dec. 4.
Governor Lounsbury has written a letter
to the Fairfield county petitioners for an ex-
ira session of the legislature, and giving the
reasons which decided him not to order a
session.
The petitioners representing the towns
along the New York, New Haven anf Hart
ford railroad desired session to secure a
repeal or modification of the law concerning
grade crossings, by which half the expense
of changing said crossings should be as
sessed upon the towns.
The railroad is at its own expense in abol-
ishing grade crossings in the State of New
York and the Governor says there is a wide
spread feeling that it should change similar
crossings in this State wholly at its own ex-
pense either voluntarily or from force.
The governor also says that in their plan
to abolish the grade crossings the railroad
has chiefly in view the improvement of its
property, saving expense in gates and flag
men, the more rapid running of trains and
hence lessening the danger of successful
competition. He felt it would be especially
hard and unjust that any town should be
taxed to help the railroad solely

ATTEMPT AT MURDER.
American Fenians Make Plans to As
sassinate Lords Harrington and Cos
chen.


LONDON, Dec. 4.
The Morning Post declares that certain
Parnellites urged fenlans to murder Lord lIar-
tngton which they scornfnlly refused to do.
A number of American fenians then under
took the task and were on the continent for
that purpose fortnight ago.
These, in concert with few Irish fenians,
made an arrangement by which the rails on
the roads between Kingston and Dublin were
to be removed to wreck the train carving
Harrington and Goschen.
In the excitement shots were being fred
into the carriages occupied by the English
visitors. The scheme was abandoned when
it became known that Harrington and Cos
chen travelled by different trains. The for
mer drove straight to the residence of MIR.
Powers in Leopardstown, thus missing Dub
lin.
They next arranged to attack Powers, mur-
der Harrington and carry him into WICKLOW
mountains to be held as hostage for the re
lease of VIM. O'Brien and other political
prisoners. Everything matured but the plot
miscarried owing to the watchfulness of
the police.

acres of swamp land in Michigan, seem to
have struck home toeome of the biggest and

The value of one 200 acre lot, owned by Mr.

Stockbridge's interests are said to be even
greater than Palmers. Stockbridge is q
large owner in the Grand Rapids and Indiana
